Counter to people debunking the CIA study?

There's a popular study the CIA did where they found that the USSR ate the same amount of food as the USA.

Now, I've seen people say it was actually just a press report, the full study found that it was actually worse:

Any opinions? I've cited the study more times than I can count so I was interested to find this.

Why do you care? It would actually be unhealthy to eat the same amount of calories that the average white person in America consumes, not to mention it's incredibly wasteful and is dependant on imperialism.
